Welcome to the Nuclear Industry Association

Thank you for your interest in joining the Nuclear Industry Association. You are among a number of nuclear companies who want to further their business interests and meet the right people across the nuclear sector.

We are a small organisation, but we work hard to provide a credible and dynamic voice for our members.

Whether your business is solely based in nuclear, or nuclear makes up a part of what you do, or if you are looking to join the sector, there are many ways NIA membership can benefit your business.

Tom Greatrex Chief Executive, NIA

We look forward to welcoming you to our membership.

Individual organisations in the UK nuclear sector collaborate with a common goal of greater acceptance and opportunities for growth. The NIA is at the heart of these efforts and the small team delivers an impressive impact.

This value is powerfully illustrated by three examples. First, NIA advocacy on issues that affect all members and impact energy policy. Secondly, NIA supply chain work to nurture the environment for members to make the most of opportunities in the UK and globally. Thirdly, NIA work to join up efforts to develop skilled and qualified workers for generations to come.

Director of Strategy and Corporate Affairs, EDF Energy

Grow your business

Our extensive Business Group programme provides the perfect opportunity to meet leaders in the nuclear sector and keep up to date with the latest industry developments and hear about business opportunities.

The Groups, which cover New Build, Decommissioning and Existing Operations, Legal and Financial Affairs, Exports and External Relations, are led by industry for industry to ensure members get the most relevant information for their business.

Through these groups our members meet more people, find new partners and increase their visibility across the nuclear sector.

In addition to the Business Group programme, we work closely with the Department for International Trade to secure places for nuclear companies on trade missions which we advertise exclusively to member companies.

When I joined Tessella I immediately recommended NIA Membership. You not only receive all the industry briefing materials you need, but access to the best nuclear industry network you could wish for. The NIA's evolution of the Business Groups into mini-conferences events has been a great success, evidenced by the ever growing demand for places!

Stay ahead of the competition It is more important than ever that in these times of change the opportunities and challenges associated with the nuclear industry are clearly and firmly articulated to all stakeholders. The NIA has a hugely important role to play in this regard thus supporting those organisations whose success depends on a thriving nuclear industry.

Chris Ball

Director, Atkins Limited

As an NIA member you have the unique opportunity to contribute articles for our quarterly magazine, Industry Link to help to promote your business across the sector.

Our nuclear industry Trade Directory is an exclusive tool for NIA members.

It is a comprehensive database of the NIA membership which provides unrivalled access to over 250 nuclear sector companies. It gives you the opportunity to search for products and services and also means your company will be seen by the right people, allowing you to stay one step ahead of the competition.

Have a voice to media and the government The NIA is the voice of the civil nuclear industry to Government, Parliament and in the media. We advocate for all parts of the sector, from existing operations to new build, the supply chain and decommissioning. We want to ensure the nuclear industry can grow and help you take advantage of opportunities at home and overseas.

Members have the opportunity to influence our policy positions through our Business Groups and inform our consultation responses, meaning your thoughts will go directly to policymakers within Government.

We share knowledge exclusively with members through our Weekly and Monthly newsletters which highlight important industry news and key legislative and regulatory changes you need to be aware of.

In a sector as complex and sometimes controversial as nuclear, it’s important that we have a single body which can speak with the voice of the whole industry, alongside the individual voices of separate companies. NIA carry out this vital role and are recognised as the “go to” contact point by Government, Whitehall officials, media and many others.

From a member’s perspective, we always appreciate the friendly and helpful approach of the NIA’s team and their willingness to help on virtually any issue connected with the sector. If the NIA didn’t exist, we’d have to re-invent it straight away!

In addition to free attendance at our Business Group meetings, all members receive discounts to attend and exhibit at our flagship annual conferences where you’ll hear about new opportunities and meet senior leaders from across the industry and Government.

Members also receive free copies of, and discounted advertising rates in our quarterly magazine, Industry Link. The magazine is circulated to over 5,000 people including all levels of Government and industry.

We are also able to negotiate discounts for members to other nuclear events and conferences in the UK and overseas, which we advertise on our website and through our member communications channels.

Membership of the NIA facilitates exchange of new ideas and opportunities through the business groups and networking events. JFN finds these a great place for informal discussion with potential new suppliers and business partners.

Keep up to date Our members receive the most up to date information on industry developments and policy updates through regular newsletters and briefing papers. In addition, important information is emailed directly to our specific interest groups, so you can tailor the information you receive.

Our website also hosts a secure members’ area where you can access the Trade Directory as well as the presentations given at the Business Group meetings. Meaning you don’t miss out on the vital information from the meeting, if you couldn’t attend.

Membership of the NIA will demonstrate your commitment to the nuclear industry and your ambition to grow. Join the NIA today!

When Oxford Technologies wanted to increase its growth in the civil nuclear sector joining NIA was an essential first step. Not only offering senior Government, site licence and industry access and insight but also offering the ability to promote your company in the relevant sector through targeted and cost effective business groups.

Attendance at business groups is cost effective compared with wider industry conferences and the networking offers you the ability to pretty much get out what you put in.
